Dyspraxia week

This week is dyspraxia week so i thought i'd write about my experience as a parent with a child with dyspraxia. Bug was born at 36 weeks so he was classified as a premature baby. He reached some off his milestones by the time he was 18 months but not all. Aswell as his medical problems which is another story he could talk, he pointe to everything got frustrated when he wanted something but no one could understand him. I knew something was up but all the medical professionals kept saying it was a problem at home i was accused off never talking to him bow apparently never spoke to him so apparently he wasn't learning speech that was a pile off rubbish we spoke to him all the time, i read them both stories before bed, bow was 3 so like now couldn't shut her up. This went on for awhile i was banging my head against a brick wall constantly my saviour came when he started nursery. All he could say was eugh eugh constantly for everything so the nursery teacher asked speech and language to come in for to assess him at the time they just said delayed speech and told us they would set a speech programme up for him at school weekly aswell as me working with him at home. Luckily we also got referred to inclusion support and that was a saviour i owe them so much they did loads. They sorted out makaton classes for me as they were teaching Steven it, they sorted out signs throughout the house for him and they sorted out a visual timetable for him. As his behaviour got worse they also supported me with him even when his worker saw him pick up a kids wooden chair and throw it at me it hurt like mad. With everyone working with him they worked out the diagnosis off developmental verbal dyspraxia they diagnosed him at 4 and a half he's just had his 9th birthday and talking loads he still sees his speech therapist often and has support aswell as working to a programme set out for him. He's coming on so well that even the speech therapist who saw him yesterday said he's amazed by how well he's come on.
He's had help from so many people but he's worked so hard to be we're he's at. He's got amazing friends who help him when he needs it and he has his family.
